Just a few week’s ago, the Middle-earth News team was determined to discover the translation of Kili’s runestone from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. And once we discovered it, it wasn’t long before fans were clamoring for a runestone of their own. Whether you want it to complete your cosplay, remind a loved one to come back safely, or just for a cool movie replica prop, Etsy store BijouxMalou has you covered. In addition to the solid labradorite runestone, the shop also offers a labradorite runestone necklace, and a polymer clay runestone necklace. (Alice Greenleaf)
